The Darkest Destiny: Review

From Goodreads:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Gena Showalter comes a new story in her Lords of the Underworld series…

Forsaken. Deathless. A monster in every way. Mostly, Brochan is determined. He craves what fate promised him—the woman who will help him conquer a heavenly kingdom. He will stop at nothing to win her.

Viola, Keeper of the demon of Narcissism, lives for a single purpose—treating herself and her pet to the best life possible. But a crazed warrior is now appearing everywhere she ventures, ruining her fun…. tempting her beyond reason and keeping her at a razor-edge of desire.

Though legions of males have attempted to win her, all have failed. Somehow, this rampaging beast is tearing down her walls, one by one, claiming he owns her heart and her very destiny. To be with him, however, she must defeat the only force strong enough to destroy her—love.

My Review:
I love this series so much, and I always enjoy diving into another story. Viola is someone we know, if not very well. But I'm pretty sure that we've seen little to nothing of Brochan before this book, so it was really great to get to know him as well!

I loved getting Viola's story! She's been around for around half of the series to this point, though never the focus until now. She was such a fantastic character, dealing with hosting the demon of Narcissism, which caused her to have waves of self love and insecurity. I just loved her story of overcoming her demon!

Brochan is in a difficult position. From the prologue we see him see Viola-and know that she's his mate. And she goes for his brother, takes his immortality, which prompts Brochan to become a Forsaken, not a Fallen Angel, he still has his wings, but yeah, his emotions for Viola are very mixed!

I loved how they worked out their issues, between their previous actions, and her demon and Fluffy, oh, and the key that she has that's supposed to get the Forsaken into Nevaeh..it all came together really well, watching them work out their problems while giving into their on fire attraction was just so fantastic to read!

This was another great book in this series, and I can't wait for the next!

Bio:

Gena Showalter is the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of a multitude of sub-genres within romance: paranormal, Fantasy, contemporary, and young adult. She’s also written standalone novels, novellas and anthologies, as well as co-authored a nonfiction guide about how to write a book in a year.

Gena lives in Oklahoma with her husband, two adult children who grew up way too fast, and menagerie of dogs and cats who enjoy farting while she works, walking across her keyboard during pivotal scenes and demanding pets at all hours of the day and night. Her novels have appeared in Cosmopolitan’s Red Hot Reads and Seventeen magazine. She’s been interviewed on Nightline and mentioned on Orange is the New Black—the very moment her family decided she might be a real writer after all.

Chances are good she’s hard at work on her next novel. Chances are even better that the book is a twisted tale featuring an alpha male with a dark side and the strong woman who (lovingly…sometimes) kneecaps him.
